Mathura, one of the 80 seats in UP, voted in the second phase of national elections.

Hema Malini, whose election campaign got a boost when her actor-husband Dharmendra campaigned for her, insisted that she herself had done a lot of work in the past five years.

Meanwhile, Dharmendra's son Sunny Deol, who makes his debut in politics this election season is contesting on a BJP ticket from Gurdaspur, Punjab. Trends in the afternoon indicated Deol was leading with over 2.5 lakh votes. Congress candidate Sunil Jakhar is close behind with 2 lakh votes as of now.
